St. Louis Rams Snap Counts, Preseason Week 1
The St. Louis Rams kicked off the preseason on Friday night with a 26-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Obviously, with it being the first exhibition game, the stakes weren’t too high, and many of the Rams’ primary players either sat out the game completely or played limited snaps. As a result, we got to see lots of the players who are competing for jobs on the lower portion of the 53-man roster.
Analyzing the preseason snap counts can be helpful, because it gives a good idea of who the staff wants to get a better look at as they make their decisions. Here are the complete snap counts for Friday’s game, along with the starting special teams units, which give us a good idea of who might be with those groups to start the regular season.
